Workplace Relations

Corrs' market-leading Workplace Relations practice group has built its reputation on the delivery of expert legal and strategic advice with a commercial focus to a broad client mix of private and public sector employers.

With extensive experience across diverse commercial, industrial and political settings and in all Australian workplace relations and employment jurisdictions, Corrs brings a thorough understanding of the practical and commercial concerns that confront businesses and public sector agencies of all sizes.

Because we understand the realities of doing business in a highly competitive marketplace and we know how the workplace relations systems operate, we can work with clients to ensure they achieve the results they want.

As facilitators of change - not just legal advisers - Corrs works in partnership with clients to plan, implement and anchor lasting reforms which will help them meet their business goals. We work with our clients to avoid problems occurring, and respond quickly to develop effective solutions when they do.

In dispute situations we take the pragmatic view that winning a protracted industrial battle in the courts and tribunals is of little value if it cannot be sustained on the ground, and comes at the expense of operational effectiveness and / or relationships with employees in the longer term.
